Nutritional Yeast

Nutritional yeast is inactive (hint: It won’t make your bread dough rise). For vegans, it can be your food source of vitamin B12. I’ve had success using it in recipes that call for parmesan cheese because nutritional yeast imparts a yellow color to foods and has a slightly cheesy taste. Some people who are doing the dairy-free waltz top their popcorn with nutritional yeast. If you mix it in well, the result does look similar to cheese popcorn. Nutritional yeast comes in flakes or powder and can be found on the baking supplies shelves opposite the bulk coffee. Bulk nutritional yeast is in (surprise!) the refrigerated case nearest the kitchen.
